Tom Harris: …and a good time was had by all

Remember last week we talked about picking Satsuma tangerines? Just after writing that, Dr. Jerry Parsons sent out word that his group would be picking them on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. A dozen or so people turned up at the Agriculture Experiment Station in Uvalde and harvested TONS of tangerines. Of course we ate all we could before putting any in the boxes and we’ll probably all pay the price tomorrow, but it was worth it.

If you’d like to buy some, they’re gonna be on sale this weekend at a couple of nurseries; Milberger’s on 1604 and Fannick’s on Holmgren Road off W.W. White. I don’t know how much they’ll be selling for, but whatever it is, as I said, they’re worth it. Tree-ripened Satsuma tangerines are kinda like home-grown tomatoes; hard to beat.
